[edit] Comments

Great article! I would note that DNB as a reference is completely obscure, at least to most Americans; suggest calling it out as the Dictionary of National Biography with full citation in the references. I'm not sure which edition you used, so I can't make the change my self. - PKM (talk) 19:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Yes - forgot to add to refs. Done now. Johnbod (talk) 20:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Additional refs

A number of additional refs from the London Gazette are available. See here. I'm a bit short of time at the moment or I'd add myself, {{LondonGazette}} may be useful for formatting these. David Underdown (talk) 13:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Indeed! Many thanks. Nothing about that in the DNB! Johnbod (talk) 14:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I've templated the refs now (there's been at least one complete website re-vamp in the past, using the template means if they do that again, we'll be able to fix all the refs centrally, rather than wading through individual articles), used a named ref for the one you repeated, and added another from after his death to just show it wasn't resolved.

Thanks, but the first one seems to swallow some text - not sure how to sort this. Johnbod (talk) 15:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Think it's sorted now, I hadn't quite done teh named refs properly. David Underdown (talk) 15:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
That's it - thanks again. A Wikipedia exclusive, as no other source mentions this! Johnbod (talk) 18:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
